Barb, et al, I've also heard that part of this will be to put the FHL up on the 'Net. Think what a boon that would be to be able to get your film numbers *before* you go! I can only manage 1 day/week there, and hate to spend the time I could be looking at films, on the computer searching for film numbers. I'm really looking forward to this! Happy Hunting!
